Biggie Was the Perfect Balance That Can Never be Achieved Again

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

It's close between Jay and Biggie.

Biggie may go more street than Jay, but Jay can go more introspective on some meta-philosophy, thought provoking/artsy material.

If you can sell something like that in mainstream hip-hop/pop, you're in rare category.

Holy Grail failed miserably


Jay's at his best telling coke tales & bragging about how much money he has


The bolded sounds more like Lupe Fiasco, not Jay

From making radio hits like Juicy, Hypnotize, Mo Money Mo Problems, One More Chance (R&B remix), and Get Money to dominate the clubs and charts. Then make street records that can compete with any other rapper (mainstream or underground) on a lyrical level like Last Day, Notorious Thugs, Long Kiss Goodnight, Who Shot Ya etc. On top of that the dude was an amazing storyteller. Ready to Die may be the greatest concept album of all time only rivals by his other album Life After Death . Biggie had everything. Flow, presence, charisma, voice, personality, and lyrical ability. If you ask me, Biggie may have been the perfect rap artist. All this under the age of 25. I can't even imagine what his discography would be like.
Some of yall probably aint gonna read all of this and just throw some at me, but ask your favorite rapper who's the king of NY

Actually 2pac is the perfect balance. Although I love biggie and feel he made to great albums full of unforgettable lyrics and flows

Na i remember every single bar on that life after death album

His flows and storytelling delivery was jus sick

People still sample big stuff till this day

Pac was balanced but that 95 96 gangsta pac is the pac everyone listens to

Arguably goat rapper

Financially it did good.

sidenote I am biased to Ready to Die considering it was the first cd I owned.

smh this dude want to compare a song from Jay-z 7th album to Biggies first or second. I think its unfair to compare catalogs unless its from Jay's first two albums. Biggie didn't live to complete the amount of albums Jay has so don't compare his later work being an accomplished businessman to Biggie a dude off the block in his early 20s.

i'm not a mod,i can only edit MY POST,which is why i linked your quote (something i cant change) to prove you wrong. ANd jay nor big are as balance as pac. Not even close
2pac can give you some nas type shyt,face tpe shyt,cube type shyt,public enemy type shyt,krs one type shyt,dmx type shyt etc. Them nikkas range is actually small. Though i love them both and jay is the best alive

No1 can give you nas shyt besides nas lol

And whats makes pacs balanced is his ability to rap about everything , his versatility. And when i say rap about anything i mean making songs about different shyt and it sticking with you

I think jay is the same but is more lyrical
That breaks the tie with me
